ST. LOUIS, June ga special from
Del Rio, Texas, says: The Mexican
portion of the city were startled dur
ing the night by the cries of "mur-
DER" and as a citizen broke open the
door of the room whence the calls
came the body of Felipa fell into his
arms. The woman was stabbed three
times with a large dagger, and any OF
the wounds would have proved fatal.
She lived in the house with her hus-
band, Juan Garcia, and an aged
couple. The latter testified that in
the night they we're awakened by a
scuf1e, and the sound Of a mans
voice, swearing. Then they heard
Felipa's cries. Since the killing John
Garcia has disappeared.
The PrOspectssfor an ExtraisessiOn.
WASHINGTON, June 3.-The pressure
in favor OF an extra session of Con-
gress as early as October has gaind
such Roadway that it is thought that
the President will be forced to yield to
the wishes of the party leaders. Mr..
Cleveland and Secretary Fairchild
have been opposed to the extra ses-
sion idea. Mr.. Cleveland has been
quoted as saying that he thought the
extra session would do more harm
than good, and as Mr.. Fairchild gave
it as his opinion some time ago that
an extra session vas not necessary to
prevent a financial panic, the Presi-
dent was disposed to let the matter
drop, but he is understood now to be
considering it.
A Swlndler and His Victims.
WASHINGTON, June ga person
calling himself "ex-Congressman
Pelsore of California" has been VIC
timizing a number of ladies here of
late. He advertised in a local paper
for a governess who could speak
French. Among those who sent an
swers was a French lady. The "ex-
Congressman" told her he wanted her
to go to Los Angeles, where his family
lived, and as they were going to
travel together it would be better for
her to let him carry her money. This
the lady agreed to, and handed him
500 telling him to get her ticket. She
has not heard from him since. In an
other case he got $35, all the money a
lady had, on a similar plan.
New York Democrats.
WASHINGTON, June 3.-Secretary
Whitney, who has had recent consul
t~ations with some of the representa-
tive leaders of the more powerful po-
litical organizations Of New York, re-
ferring to the repeated unfavorable
statements affecting the condition of
the Democratic party in that State in
view of the national contest next year,
says: "The stories are only invented
by political enemies to create what
they claim already exists-a break in
the party. Nearly every place of i'm
portance has been filled with Demo-
Gratis, so that those who could not be
gratitied will undoubtedly quiet down
and give their aid and cooperation
Just as before"
War Imminent.
LITTLE Rock, June 3.-The situa-
ton in the Choctaw Nation is becom-
ing serious. Half-breeds are leaving
the Nation in large numbers and cross
ing into Arkansas for safety. A bat |
tie between the full-bloods and half |
